Love this Look: New Monochromatic

Recently discovered Greg Kessler’s blog – Go Backstage and am loving the candid, behind-the-scenes photos. I absolutely love this look. It’s the combination of different colors within the same palette, from shoes to hair.

Gorgeous Gwyneth

While she is of course still stunning, these are my favorite shots of her. Discovered via DesignLoveFest and DressDesignDecor. Photos: By Mario Testino for Vanity Fair (2000)

Yummy

Lately, because of the diet, I’ve been thinking more about food and how much I appreciate it. How much of an event it can be and how I occasionally take it for granted or abuse it. Eating is such an adventure. There are so many natural fruits, veggies, spices to choose from and combine, it’s a shame when we waste our time on processed foods. Although, french fries are sometimes the ONLY thing I want. When the diet concludes (two more weeks!) I am going to make a conscious effort to take more care about what I put in my body. It’s always a worthwhile pursuit. Don’t you agree?

Weekend Nostalgia

My mind is taking me to New Orleans today to fete with the festers at Jazzfest. Alas, I remain in Arkansas. In store for me this weekend? Cabin on the Buffalo river tonight and shrimp/crawfish boil tomorrow. So…I have to admit those are pretty good weekend plans.

I stumbled onto this photographer, Jose Villa’s blog today. Just look at this gorgeous “Honeymoon in New Orleans” – ahhh I die.

This is where I’ll actually be – Buffalo River

Fayetteville Farmer’s Market

PS: Here’s a peek at my fat little puppy. We caught her with her paws (literally) in the cookie jar, gorging on her cousin Dwight’s – the mastiff- food. Below is the aftermath.

Happy Friday!
